Ranger and Tim Holtz are excited to announce that new metallic colors have been added to the Distress Stains product line! This special water-based metallic formula was developed to react with Distress Stains and Distress Inks and add a nostalgic metallic sheen to surfaces.

These new vintage metallic hues are fluid dyes for papers and other porous surfaces. Combine with the Distress Stain 37 color palette for quick and easy ink coverage on backgrounds and larger areas. Apply layers of Stain to achieve more saturated color. Distress Stains coordinate with the complete line of products including Distress Inks, Distress Markers, Distress Crackle Paint, Distress Embossing Powders, and Distress Stickles.

The 12x12 papers are printed on a woven-textured fabric your mother would love! It is luxurious, soft and allows the detail of each pattern to be highlighted.

Below are the 6 double sided papers offered in this collection.

Collection kits allow you to grab and go - included in this kit is an EXCLUSIVE 12x12 Details & 12x8 Elements sticker - the only way to get these intricate, perfectly color-matched stickers is inside the kit!

And here's why … growing up {without inhibitions} I spent my time and pocket money drawing and painting {oils, acrylics, pastels} … quite unlike Val who thought it was all a bit messy and a waste of my pocket money!

Today, having not drawn for over 2 decades I struggle to complete my African travel sketch pad …

… until bingo!

Just as I was to board my plane for a week with the Samburu tribe {yes, again, this is unheard of for Val who doesn't understand why I chose to live in a dome shape "home" for a week, squat over a drop hole along side 400 other Samburu villages, jump and dance round a campfire with young warriors and eat (sign of the cross) unknown things}, I casts my eyes on ...
